This blog is all about how I how used humor to remain sane while dealing with the insanity of a brain tumor the size of my wife’s fist. Why blog? To help other folks cope with serious health issues/brain tumors/cancer and give anybody wading through the muck of rehabilitation some hope or at least a chuckle or two. It will include a vaguely chronological story, books reviews, presentations to rehab patients, etc.

Nap Power

I really like a good nap,
preferably on my porch, in the shade on a warm afternoon.

A nifty article by Beth
Belle Cooper in Fast Company makes me
feel even better about napping. She reports that “Studies
of napping have shown improvement in cognitive function, creative thinking, and
memory performance."

She also writes that “Naps
can even have a physical benefit. In one study of 23,681 Greek men over six
years, the participants who napped three times a week had a 37% lower risk of
dying from heart disease.”
